Black Jack
Manga: Franken Fran
...then you might like
Franken Fran
Both are episodic medical manga featuring genius surgeons who operate outside normal ethics, but with very different tones. Black Jack is a classic: emotional and thought-provoking, with a mysterious doctor saving lives in impossible ways. It touches on moral dilemmas. Franken Fran takes that same concept and pushes it into horror and dark comedy. Fran grants people’s wishes through surgery… often too literally, with grotesque or ironic results. It’s twisted and fascinating. Read Black Jack for depth and soul; read Franken Fran if you're ready for the same idea turned into a nightmare... in the best possible way!

Belle Poupée no Super Darling Konyaku: "Konomi ja Nai" to Iwareta Ningyou Hime, Gaman wo Yametara Ouji ga Deredere ni Natta. Jitsu ni Ui!
I recently came across this brand new series on social media and my first thought was “oh, so it’s like Shikimori-San?”- read the first, and so far only, chapter to easily confirm- Yeah, it is. A cool, strong girl and a blushing boy who wants to be cool but instead gets bridal-carried by the not-just-cute girl. Very reverse trope boy and girl power couple. They’re not identical(Shikimori is set in a modern high school, Belle Pouppée has isekai vibes ect) but if you like one, there’s a fair chance you’ll like the other!
Manga: X
If you liked
X
Manga: Devilman
...then you might like
Devilman
Both X by CLAMP and Devilman by Go Nagai have stunning, often overwhelming artwork, with splash pages that really show what manga art can achieve. Their use of the fantasy and supernatural genres serves more as a canvas for visual experimentation than a platform for tight and logical worldbuilding, which is an intentional and understandable creative choice. Narratively, they aren't always focused on cohesion. Certain developments can feel abrupt or inconsistent. What these works lack in narrative precision, they make up for with emotional intensity and visual impact. Even today, few manga rival their stylistic boldness. They're not perfect stories, but they are unforgettable experiences.

The Memory Shop
Both are heavily concentrated on the past with the unusual ways to reminiscent memories. There is a bunch of characters but their connection to each other is rather weak making the stories almost episodic. Here and there we have a modern world but imbued with magical almost oneiric atmosphere. I wouldn't go as far as to call it a fairytales for adults but it's pretty close.

Tenju no Kuni
If you're reading this, then you probably already know A Bride's Story and have come across Blissful Land as a recommendation. I absolutely suggest reading Blissful Land. It feels spiritually and stylistically inspired by A Bride's Story. The setting is the same (Central Asia), though this time we're in Tibet. The plot is also similar: it's a bride's story (pun intended), with a young woman arriving from another country and learning the customs of her new home. It's heartwarming and satisfying to see the couple working together toward a common goal. The pacing is slow and contemplative, focusing on everyday moments and the quiet growth of the relationship. The attention to detail is impressive... not quite on the same level as A Bride's Story, but that’s understandable, as I've never seen anything as detailed. There’s also a great amount of research behind it, especially when it comes to medicinal herbs and dyes for clothing. You can feel the author's passion and love for the characters in the way they’re drawn and how they interact with each other. Reading it felt like experiencing A Bride's Story for the first time all over again. Truly a blissful manga.

Both series revolve around couples from opposing sides—emotionally, socially, or literally—who fall deeply in love but must overcome obstacles, pride, and personal growth before they can fully be together. What makes these two stories resonate on a deeper level isn't just their comedy or romance—it's the emotional tension, the build-up, and the rewarding payoff of watching characters slowly evolve, struggle with vulnerability, and take bold steps toward love. Similarities: Enemies-to-lovers dynamic with strong emotional stakes Both MCs are intelligent, passionate, and stubborn, making every interaction charged with tension A focus on big romantic moments and gestures, not just daily fluff A perfect blend of romance, comedy, and emotional growth The relationship doesn't end at the confession—it deepens afterward "We shouldn’t be together... but I still want you." core emotion

Both have Messy Relationships & Complicated Love Both have an Emotionally Immature MC The MC leads in both manga struggle with emotional clarity and maturity. (Rent-A-Girlfriend MC) is known for his indecisiveness and fragile ego. (Someone’s Girlfriend MC) features similarly flawed characters who act on impulse or selfish desires. Watching these characters fumble through their emotions gives a kind of raw, relatable, yet frustrating emotional ride. Reading both You might experience different kind of emotions until you reach the end and you don’t know what emotion you’ll give in each chapters. (Would be a roller coaster ride of emotions) So give these 2 manga a read it gives balance between heartbreak, tension, and introspection but it’s not for the faint of heart.

Both manga center around psychological mind games. Each protagonist has to outsmart someone extremely dangerous, knowing a single slip could be fatal. The tension comes not from action, but from psychological maneuvering and manipulation. The protagonists are morally grey. And there's an ongoing question: "Who are they, really?". The characters often wear masks and you're never quite sure what’s real. Every conversation is a trap, every motive suspect, and every development forces you to question who’s really in control.

Both also are perfect love letters for the medieval fantasy and magic genre, with the beautifully thought of and incredibly intricate magical system.

A kind male protagonist becomes entangled with a series of girls suffering from supernatural aberrations that metaphorically reflect their inner emotional or psychological struggles.

The tone in both series balances witty banter, emotional vulnerability, and surreal atmosphere.

Blunt male lead confesses to a demon tsundere girl and she's embarrassingly accepts.

The FL actively tries to "hide" and "deny" their love but the protagonist bluntness break through into the FL heart. The protagonist is rather goofy and kind but he can be cool and reliable in moments. The FL is "powerful" and is cold towards her peers but her reticence in dating causes her to be cute or embarrassed. Really similar manga if you like one you'd probably like the other one. There's kinda a harem but the protagonist is always set on the main girl.
